i know this isnt much to do with steam but i tryto make a global agenda acount and no matter how random i put the name as it says its take or, even though it is only about 13 characters long, says that it needs to be within 5 ad 20 characters long. i realy want to play this game bit i need an account to do so.

Do you have multiple Capital letters in the name? When i made my account i had issues too, my password i chose had special characters in it like "#$&^$*%" and i eventually figured out i had to make it only letters and numbers, no special characters or it said it wasn't long enough, and also like you the name kept saying it wasn't the right length either, i fixed this by only having the 1st letter in the name capital and everything else lowercase, for example; instead of TheKroniKles (in which it said it was the wrong length) i had to do Thekronikles than everything worked fine. And for future reference after you make the account you will find a button somewhere when logged in on the site to add a key and you just get the cd key by right clicking the game in library. Hope this helps.

Note: User name must be between 4 and 15 characters. Can not contain special charaters, numbers or spaces.

i have to be registered to view the forums,so now im stuck.
i have tried so many names,button bashing and mirrored words but nothing works.im going to have to wait and try it on another computer and see if that makes any difference.
i wouldn't be that bad but you have to enter your password twice and the almost unreadable capture.
i have even tried bargaining with it,ijustwonnaplay,pleaseplease,somebodyhelp,anyran domname.then anger arghhhhhhh,whywhywhy,ihatecapture,thissux.
i have used probably about50-60 other names.
i dont know,i think i will give up for a few days and play something else.rant over.
any chance of a screen cap of the post

The problem is the error message which makes it sound like the problem is your character name when it isn't, it's one of the other names. Try changing your account name.

Truth, this man speaks it. Because there are multiple names, and it's a known issue that on occasion it can even provide an error for an incorrect field, it's a good idea to double check ALL your registration information for invalid information.

still no luck with any browser with add ons,or another computer in the house with a seperate connection.?
^thanks for the post Baharroth

that sucks. i made the page load in an ietab in firefox and then i was able to make an account.

Here is something strange though.

When i rendered the page for creating an account in firefox with ietab i was able to create my account, but i just made another account without using ietab (as a test) and i didn't get the name error like i originally was, so im kinda confused now.
